Macanudo of every kind. I loved those things. Haven't smoked one forever.

icehog3 · 07-16-2009, 09:00 AM

La Aroma de Cuba Robustos....went through several boxes my first year or so of quality smoking...I doubt I have had one in 2 years now.

Cusano 18 double connecticut. I went through a couple boxes my first year smoking. Now when I find one in the humi I save it for when I need to give a non-smoker something mild. I just moved onto fuller smokes, as is usually the case.

I never bought a box of these but when I started smoking these were all I smoked at the B&M, I have just graduated to a more full flavor flavor profile

Don't laugh... Macanudos.

BlackDog · 07-16-2009, 09:14 AM

Back in the 1980's I only smoked occasionally, and only when I was going to be with certain friends. I usually bought them at a drug store that had a cigar counter. If I had decent money I bought Macanudo Hampton Courts. If not, I bought Marsh Wheelings. Once Tinder Box opened in the mall I tried Fuente 898's and Ashton classics. Loved both of those.

I also used to sometimes smoke a cigar from the Canary Islands, but I can't recall what it was now. I haven't seen a cigar from the Canary Island in a very long time.

Truth be told...

Padron 6000

I don't know why I don't smoke them, I guess DPG and Illusione have my wallet at that price point.

I used to smoke all Padron x000 like they were going out of style, and infact didn't smoke much of anything else. When I had my first Tatuaje, a Regio, I just thought it to be a one-dimensional spicey Padron 3000 nat, ohhh I've come a long way baby. Now I can't smoke enough Tat's & DPG.

Also, Fuente, especially Short Stories. Used suck one down every evening. now... I actually revisited them a month ago and have to say I really liked it, though I really stopped liking Cameroon, due to the sour taste, but the Hemingway series always has that sweetness.

ps nice thread

I used to smoke a ton of partagas black labels and CAO brazilias. I burned through those sticks like I was a dragon. I still have a couple each on hand but I just haven't had any disire to smoke them.

TomHagen · 07-16-2009, 09:33 AM

Maybe also write what we are smoking now?

What have you replaced the ol' standby or ol' great smoke with?

(a lot will probably say CC's, but besides that...)

I have replaced the blacks and cao's with some Tats, DPG, Padrons, and CC's. I still smoke a variety of cigars, it just seems that those cigars take the place for the black label and cao's.

JJG · 07-16-2009, 09:52 AM

I used to buy a lot of Padrons, mostly the 3k and 4k. I still enjoy them occasionally but not with any regularity. They taste great, but I finally just got bored with that one flavor.

tsolomon · 07-16-2009, 11:09 AM

For the past couple of weekends, I have been pulling out old sticks that I haven't smoked in quite awhile to give them a smoke. There has only been 2 out of the whole bunch that I still enjoy. DPG Blues and Oliva G Cameroon, the rest are going out to Fred for the troops. DPG Blacks, Montecristo Media Noche, 5 Vegas Gold and Classics, Casa Royale. It's not that I dont like them, but I do find them to a boring smoke.

Mr B · 07-16-2009, 11:09 AM

Macanudo Golds. Now they are like suckin air. I just perfer more spice and flavor now.

htown · 07-16-2009, 11:12 AM

I smoked a lot of Padron and Padron Aniversarios and now I can take them or leave them.

alley00p · 07-16-2009, 11:29 AM

LOL, I started with Macanudos - especially Hampton Courts and Fuente Curly Heads...

Haven't either in ages

e-man67 · 07-16-2009, 11:41 AM

Started in the early 90's with Macanudos and Monte Cristos...then went to all things Fuente and Romeo Juliet gold labels...smoked a TON of Partegas Black and Punch rare corojo's along with HDM excalibers in the early 2000's...have them all in my Humi and haven't looked at them in years (with the exception of 1 Partagas Black about a month ago)...now mostly I smoke Tats and DPG stuff...although I do have my CC moments.

awsmith4 · 07-16-2009, 11:47 AM

RP 1990s and AF Hemingway's were the ones I smoked the most but now they don't even cross my mind

Starscream · 07-16-2009, 11:46 AM

I used to love Fuente Cuban Coronas. I haven't had one in a long time. Don't like them with natural wrappers anymore, but the maduros are still ok.

wrench turner 85 · 07-16-2009, 04:54 PM

Its not that I ignore it, I just cant find it any more and thats Di Meola's.

jerseystepup · 07-16-2009, 05:00 PM

What I used to smoke religously? 5 vegas gold or perdomo lot 23's.....

What they've been replaced with? Besides psd 4's. Either 5 vegas miamis's or tat white labels.
